Sick Soldier
~
There is a sick soldier at the Soldiers’ Home, who has but a small chance of recovery, although he was somewhat better yesterday. He was a private in the 8th Cavalry, Capt. Moreheiser’s Company, and was sent home sick with dysentery and general debility. His name is F. Lagaree. He is 25 years old and has a sister living in Bellevue. An experience aged lady has been engaged as a nurse by the Odd Fellows, of which body he is a member, and by good treatment he may recover.
